We’ll See
To be fair, the set up is fairly easy but I managed to stretch it to an hour. And ten minutes of that was thinking the peephole extension through the door hole was too short, only to find a longer one in the box after I found I could use the existing peephole extension. My bad. That said, it was a pain to connect to the app. Had to reset my WiFi key because it had characters that this tech wouldn’t accept. This started a round of “forgetting” my WiFi on all the home devices, so I could alter the WiFi key to work for this. That was most of the hour.
A previous review mentioned the notifications onslaught. After I connected the device to my phone app, it flooded my email with notifications of “activity” outside my door, with pics. That would be great if anything was happening. As it was, I got 20 emails in less than an hour, with 80 pics of my neighbors closed door…no activity. I turned off the notifications, but I’ll update later on what happens.

Almost never works
This app is broken and it appears all development for it has been abandoned while the company still shamelessly sells the product.
Does what it says
App and camera work fine, does what it says and is still being updated.
..
Looks like intern could have done a better job developing this app. Worst developer ever. This app looks like built in early 2000s, or the developer is not synced with technology in last 15-20 years.
This app needs some development love
I won’t be too wordy with this since I don’t own the unit but this app NEEDS TO SEND NOTIFICATIONS. Emails are nice but I am shocked that immediate notifications are not an option. Now I could have missed something and if I did I’d love some guidance.
Also why can’t the motion sensitivity be adjusted? This would be ideal to cut down on unnecessary motion senses and tons of emails.
Finally no way to look at your profile on the app? Just seems weird.

The worst app ever
Totally does not work. It’s a different version from the one on TouTube.
Discreet camera… unreliable app
The app will work… although I had a few hiccups trying to get it to. Brinno tech support will respond within a day… but my problem with the app ‘no camera selected’ somehow sorted itself out on its own before I could try their suggestions
My biggest complaint about the app is that it will log me out several times in one day (and other days not at all)
Meaning if I hear a noise at my front door, it takes me too long to be able to view whats going on
The log on page doesnt have an option to save info or stay logged on… leaving me to frantically type out my whole email address and password when I need to view whats going on
In a situation where discretion is a must… this is the best front door camera Ive found. It’s barely noticeable as being different than the standard peepholes other units in my building come with
The camera itself is very reliable about capturing peoples images as they come in the front door (I now have 100 photos that make it look like Im breaking into my own house lol)
The live view from the app is slow and sometimes unavailable

App stop sending push notifications
After the update the app stop sending push notifications whenever a move was detected. And in iPhone settings -> notifications, the app doesn’t even have a notification option. But previously it did.
“Please wait”
The app is terribly slow to load. Every time I load the app and click ‘live view’ is says I have no camera selected. Clicking it again clears the error. The footage has terrible latency which comes in spurts. If you need to quickly check who’s at the door this is not the app to do it.
